Less than a month until I (finally) start nursing school, and I've hit a few snafus already.
I can't figure out how to put in my two week notice at my job. Should be a fairly simple task, right? Letter of resignation on city letterhead, check. Supervisor or manager to hand it to? Not so much.
Both supervisors were out of the office this week for training and will be next week as well. The manager has been out of town (I think), and his office is dark and locked up tight. Sliding the letter under the door is looking like a better option every day.
Perhaps a better option is to just completely circumvent the "chain of command" - which by the way, is something insanely frowned upon in any police department, and just taking it to HR and let them deal with tracking down supervisors. And so I think to myself (while giggling) "What are they going to do, fire me?"
Tee Hee!
Wanna hear how my day went today?
Let's see: I accidentally told an officer to switch channels to "window" (instead of "info") - wtf, right?
Called a "complainant" a "complainer" on the air (accidentally)
And, I dispatched a call for a dog locked in a vehicle in 113 degree heat. It's our policy to respond to those calls, and the officer was being a smart ass and said "Checking 10-13?" Which is a fancy way of asking for the weather conditions- like he didn't know.. He's the one who's been in 113 degree heat all day wearing kevlar. My reply was: "it's HOT. I'll show you en route."
Yes, and then the other dispatchers laughed until they cried.
It was magical.
Now if I could just manage to resign...
